Is there much difference between the interest of an heir apparent in an estate in fee tail and a remainderman? They seem to me to be pretty much the same thing, except the heir apparent must be a blood relation and a remainderman can be any random who was named in the initial creation of the interest. But does this difference actually change the nature of the interest that much? Possible differences I suppose might be things like the writs the person can use to protect his interest.
